Default The Earth won't wobble as much now...

Tis the season, I just shipped an entire load of stuff that apparently we needed at one time and now we don't to my Mother in laws community garage sale on the other side of town, never to return; Goodwill etc. for the leftovers. We had to check the tire pressure on the trailer after it was loaded. Good grief; it is amazing how much "stuff" can accumulate! When was it that I "needed" three pig cups. And why we had a pink toaster, I do not know. Many of the boxes were in the room where I store my overflow books. As my brother in law was grabbing boxes he asked if the stacks of books went too, wherein my wife and sister in law rolled their eyes and I kept my mouth shut and he said "I guess not"; correct, I don't get rid of books. I think the Earth will wobble less now that there has been a redistribution, rather than everything in one place. Shee whiz!!

I know you are a person who takes his physics seriously, but isn't it said that most great discoveries aren't discovered with "Eureka!" but with, "Hmmm, that's funny." Big Don

George Carlin would be proud of you.... if he hadn't just died.

Thanks, I haven't watched that routine in ages. He was my favorite, particularily in the seventies.
